<p>Hi everyone! I really want to pursue a career in sports management and Rice just so happens to be a great school with that major. I'm applying as a sophomore transfer for the Fall 07 term. I've never applied to Rice before.</p>
<p>Here's my info:</p>
<p>College
Currently a freshman at Northeastern University
1st term - 3.7 GPA, 14 credits
Currently taking a business-oriented courseload with 16 credits
Some EC's (was active with a political group during election time although I haven't gone in awhile, wrote some articles for the school newspaper)
High School
Went to a competitive NYC high school which sends 20+ kids to NYU, 10+ to Cornell, 10+ to Columbia yearly (sent 2 to Rice last year)
88.8 UW GPA (low, I know, but it was 84 my freshman year)
Took 4 AP's (Spanish, World History, European History, Art History)
1330/1920 SAT (640 Verbal 690 Math 590 Writing)</p>
<p>I also have excellent EC's in regards to the Sport Management major. I interned with the Mets (won a contest) and worked in the press box, wrote articles for their official website and also wrote a column-style article for the team's official magazine. I also am arranging to intern for someone who works as a lawyer for the Yankees. I'm hoping this will make up for my below-average stats. I highly doubt I stand a chance regardless, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help my application?</p>
